[Question] Saving and loading a network #342

Closed marcantoinefortier closed 9 years ago

marcantoinefortier commented 9 years ago

Let's say I generate a network and I don't like the disposition of the nodes. I can move them and have a display that I like, but as soon as I regenerate it, the nodes get their original position. Is there any way I can save a network and all his nodes' position so I can load it later get the same network?

You can set a fixed position for nodes, however, there is no solution to retrieve the current position of nodes such that you can save them for next time.

The Network visualization of the successor of chap-links-library, vis.js, does have methods for this, like Network.storePositions().

Alright, thank you for the answer. I will check that out.
